  1. The C-101 is a big funky connector located right above the brake booster.
  2. Then you won't have the big C-101 connector in the engine bay. For all it's troubles, it does make it easier to separate the harnesses.
  3. I also vaguely remember that the book said not to go above X speed or travel farther than X miles. Anyone remember what those numbers were? Or am I remember that there were numbers attached to towing with the front wheels up?
  4. Right now I have a red tailed shark, an upside down catfish, 2 silver colored tetra, an algae eater, and my new loach (Botia kubotai I think). The fish store was selling him for $20. I was fascinated by this outrageous price and asked the lady what makes that little fish worth $20. Does he do any tricks? She didn't have a clue. Nor did the manager. So a few weeks later I went back to buy a $20 fish as my graduation present and he was on sale for $10. :D He and the shark are my favorite fish of all time. Full of personality (although the shark's personality isn't always a pleasant personality as they are quite territorial). That shark is the only fish I've ever had that doesn't fear tapping on the glass. He doesn't even flinch. It's his tank. 8) Oh, and all the non-store metal and plastic "decorations" have been removed. Nothing but rocks (cool rocks though) and a couple tops of broken bottles. The theme I'm going for is a "pond". Something you might be able to find around my neck of the woods. And there is most definitely trash in the waters in my neck of the woods (or at least what woods are left). :roll:
  5. While I hope to be there, I can't promise anything so I'd prefer to just send them now. Have I sent you anything yet? If not, just PM me an address and I'll send them out. Cards are free. :cheers:
  6. What year is your truck?
  7. I learned the hard way about starting a tank and limiting the number of fish in it. :( My ignorance left a steady stream of fish carcasses going down the toilet (along with my money). And that doesn't even include the fish lost to conflicting personalities (can sometimes be a big issue when mixing semi-aggressive with community fish). Thank goodness I didn't have the nerve to get any that could eat each other. The big killer in my tanks back in the day was the wild fluctuations in levels of ammonia. Rules of thumb to limit that: -The bigger the tank, the slower any changes will be. -The fewer the fish, th slower any changes will be. Now-a-days the biggest killer in my 30 gallon fresh water tank has been old age and only one fish has died in the last couple years. :D This is an old pic of my 30 gal tank. Since then I've learned about the dangers of leaving metals in the tank, as well as how much of a pain in the butt complex decorations and tons of fake plants are over time. Simpler is better. :D Easier to find the fish, easier to maintain, etc.
  8. While I cannot explain what you've seen Jeepco, the Jeep parts manual, 87 dealership brochure, and searching on car-part.com all agree that all 87 MJs came with the new np-231 t-case. 86 and earlier had the 207. But I'm sure there were probably a few stragglers in 87 where they used up some leftover 207s.
  9. Looks like I might be getting a sheet of the 12 inch "ComancheClub.com" decals done in a light gray if anyone would like one.
  10. Yup. http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/te ... dSeals.htm
  11. I read it on NAXJA I think. A guy figured out how to do it and posted up his progress. I remember it being more involved than simply finding the right bellhousing. :(
  12. No need to replace the fragile vacuum lines. Just cap them off and then alter the CAD to be engaged all the time. Simple and reliable. :D
  13. Are they wires? Or colorful vacuum tubes?
  14. The truck starts losing power. Eventually it'll just keep stalling out.
  15. My 86 MT has 4+1
  16. WooooooHoooooooo!!!
  17. The tow prep package and the Big ton package were separate items. His being a short bed, it won't have the Metric Ton package.
  18. So, Dirty is saying that clutches can't stand up to winter wheeling in deep snow, and Eagle is saying that normal driving isn't harsh abuse. Yes? I think you two are arguing over different things. :roll:
  19. Looks clean and original. Nice find! :cheers: Rims are a bit on the gaudy side though...
  20. No jokes about it being one foot in the grave. Way too easy. :D

    We have one. or had one. or something. I remember trying to get it running, but failing miserably. I don't remember what came of it.

    Sorta. In lieu of a functioning one on the site, some of the guys came up with one based off-site. See the post above in the announcements.
  24. Those were the theoretical reasons for Jeep going wiht the design. To bad it never showed any measurable gains in any area. Jeep eventually ditched the whole problematic concept and all new Jeeps have a solid axle shaft on the passenger side.
  25. I would throw on a replacement filter without changing the oil. Then if nothing differs, i would change the oil with a thicker oil. If it's still acting funny, I'd then move on to more drastic measures. If it was my truck, I would like to know the exact cause. And if you change everything all at once and it works, you won't know which one it was. :redX: It could be as simple as a failed oil filter.
